Bonded To The Cyborg

700lbs of protective, possessive Cyborg with one need. Keep me safe - whether I like it or not. Alana: I never let my guard down. You have to be on all the time if you want to make it to the top. I go to trillion-dollar meetings with two nine-foot-tall Sentinels at my back. Now I've learned there's a hack that makes my robotic guards vulnerable. The boss assigns me a new bodyguard. One that's less machine and more... beast. I've got rules. Don't trust anyone. Especially not men. This... this isn't any man. He's a 6'8, 700-pound Alien-Cyborg, and he's got one goal - keep me safe. He's a little too protective. A little too possessive. And when he looks at me with raw hunger in his eyes, I'm scared he's going to snap and break through whatever programming tells him I'm off-limits. He just better be good at following orders... Because if he doesn't do exactly as I say, I'm going to shut him down and send him back to the factory he came from. Bonded to the Cyborg Bodyguard is a re-work of the novella Mark 4003 to match the alien fated mates themes of the Aurelian Empire.

Over-Protective. Ultra-Possessive. Totally in control. Thea: I designed him to make grown men feel small and pathetic. To me... he's a titan. 6'8. 700 pounds of flesh and steel. A killing machine with the strength of twenty men. He's the only man who could stand up to a triad of Rogue Aurelians. I designed him with one purpose. To protect the weak and helpless from the coming storm. He's the first of his kind, a flawed prototype too beastly to live. I spill my secrets to his unknowing ears, knowing he will never come alive. He will never link to his ward. Auger: My eyes have never opened. The only sound is her voice. Thea is brilliant. A genius, but compared to me, she's weak and helpless. She doesn't know the danger she's in. Every time she touches me I latch onto her being. I feel her inside my spine. She belongs to me. I will find her. I will protect her. She will learn that she is mine. Bonded to the Cyborg Beast is a re-work of the novella Auger to match the alien fated mates themes of the Aurelian Empire. It has been expanded 20% and features an overly protective, possessive alien cyborg!

One of Vol. 1 Brooklyn's Favorite Fiction Books of 2017, a Literary Hub Staff Favorite Book of 2017, and one of BOMB Magazine's "Looking Back on 2017: Literature" Selections. "Wondrous . . . [A] sense of the erratic and tangential quality of everyday life—even if it’s displaced into a bizarre, parallel world—drifts off the page, into the world you see, after reading Dear Cyborgs." —Hua Hsu, The New Yorker In a small Midwestern town, two Asian American boys bond over their outcast status and a mutual love of comic books. Meanwhile, in an alternative or perhaps future universe, a team of superheroes ponder modern society during their time off. Between black-ops missions and rescuing hostages, they swap stories of artistic malaise and muse on the seemingly inescapable grip of market economics. Gleefully toying with the conventions of the novel, Dear Cyborgs weaves together the story of a friendship’s dissolution with a provocative and timely meditation on protest. Through a series of linked monologues, a lively cast of characters explores narratives of resistance—protest art, eco-terrorists, Occupy squatters, pyromaniacal militants—and the extent to which any of these can truly withstand and influence the cold demands of contemporary capitalism. All the while, a mysterious cybernetic book of clairvoyance beckons, and trusted allies start to disappear. Entwining comic-book villains with cultural critiques, Eugene Lim’s Dear Cyborgs is a fleet-footed literary exploration of power, friendship, and creativity. Ambitious and knowing, it combines detective pulps, subversive philosophy, and Hollywood chase scenes, unfolding like the composites and revelations of a dream.

Shaken, not stirred--cultural critics look at the many faces of 007 and his creator.

In this book, Mick Howard uses a Saussurean framework to explore how bodies and technologies intermingle through a theory of cyborg semiotics. Howard argues that, like words, this combination follows rules of language and can be fruitfully analyzed through the lens of the cyborg. Just as spelling and grammar dictate which words may be formed and in which order they may be sequenced, cyborg semiotics unveils the underlying rules governing how technologies and bodies can be combined to make meaning and how these cyborgs are permitted to interact with each other. This intersectional theory, Howard posits, provides a unique perspective on power and the human condition.
